SATRIA COFFEE PLANTATION

Getting a taste of authentic Balinese coffee at the Satria Coffee Plantation is one of the best things to do in Bali. The Satria Coffee plantation is predominantly known for the kopi luwak or civet coffee, which is one of the most expensive coffees on earth. Learn about the unusual production process of this coffee, and enjoy a guided walk around the jungle plantation, often coming across one or more Asian palm civets.

Tucked amidst a lush jungle setting, the Satria Coffee Plantation, also commonly known as Satria Agrowisata, is amongst the most famous coffee plantations to explore with our Bali tour package. Located in the Gianyar region of the island, the Satria Coffee Plantation is best known for its production of the uncommon kopi luwak. Commonly known as Civet Coffee, kopi luwak is produced with coffee beans that have been previously eaten, partially digested and thereafter excreted by the Asian palm civet, which is found in abundance here.

It is largely due to its unappealing and rather weird method of production that the civet coffee remains one of the most expensive coffees that you can find in the world. Owing to its location within a lush jungle, you can also enjoy a guided walk within the plantation, while also learning about the Asian palm civet, catching sights of these small tree-climbing animals, as well as learning more about the production process.

Satria Coffee Plantation also boasts of producing over 12 different types of teas, some of which are local, and some that are imported from different parts of the world. In addition to tasting these teas, you can also purchase them. Some of these include ginger tea, lemongrass tea, jasmine tea, rose tea, lemon tea, vanilla tea and chocolate tea, among others.
